Recipe by Andy Baraghani We took the traditional Jamaican jerk spice and simplified it. Before you call the authenticity police, give it a try on roast chicken legs.

Ingredients

1 (4-inch) piece cinnamon stick 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon allspice berries 2 teaspoons black peppercorns 2 teaspoons whole cloves 2 tablespoons light brown sugar 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon dried thyme 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1/4 cup olive oil 4 chicken legs (thigh and drumstick) Kosher salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 °F. Whack cinnamon stick with the back side of a chef’s knife to break into small pieces. Toast cinnamon, allspice, peppercorns, and cloves in a dry small skillet over medium-high, tossing, until fragrant, about 2 minutes; let cool. Grind spices, brown sugar, thyme, and cayenne in spice mill or with mortar and pestle to a fine powder. Mix oil and 2 Tbsp. spice rub in a small bowl (save remaining rub for another use). Rub chicken legs with jerk spice mixture; season with salt. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until golden brown and cooked through, 30 –35 minutes.
